Always a good experience here. Varied menu, good specials and consistent; quite a wait for food tonight but we were in no hurry so no problem. Four of us dined here and 3 had the taco special and it is a very good value. We were surprised that the " corn tortilla" option was actually hard shell which seems inconsistent with the general quality here and it was not mentioned by Jamie, our server. Warm soft corn tortillas would be a significant upgrade. Always satisfied and will return. read more

Haven't been to Walker roadhouse for a moment so we went because we heard they had a great burger special on Wednesdays. We sat at the bar and we quickly attended to. The place was packed and it was busy for a weekday. We both ordered the burger special and didn't have to wait too long. It's a real bargain at $10 for a burger and a 12 ounce bottle of beer. Burger was cooked perfectly. We definitely have to put it into our rotation. read more

Stopped on Friday night with my family for the perch dinner. When we got there at 5pm there was a 45 minute wait for 6 people. We only ended up waiting maybe 20 minutes and then were sat in the extended patio type area. personally, I don't like sitting out there because it is really loud. we are quickly greeted by our waitress in, ordered some waters, a captain and Coke and a white sangria. where then read the specials and then brought a basket of rolls. my nephew loved the role so much. I think he ate six while we were there. we all ordered the purge dinner which came with coleslaw, fries, and lemon wedges. It is my favorite local fish dinner and very reasonably priced for the amount you get. highly recommend but do know it gets busy during lent season. read more

Walker Roadhouse - Small perch Dinner - Bars Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Four of us went on Tuesday for half off appetizers and it seemed like they were half an order! The small bowl of spinach dip was half full. The bang Thai shrimp was swimming in oil. The only appetizer that was normal size was the quesadillas. The $2 off on wine was the real bargain and it was a generous pour! Our server Kylie was sweet and attentive. This is one of my favorite restaurants so I was surprised at the reduced quality and amount of food. read more

It's asinine to say you have a gluten sensitive menu & use the *same fryer oil* & cook top. That is WILD. Anyone with minimal understanding of allergies would not offer gluten sensitive options if those major things are shared. What an insult to those of us living with life altering allergies. read more

My husband and I always enjoy coming here, and this visit was no exception when it came to the food -- everything was delicious, as usual. We brought some family members with us this time, along with our baby, and everyone enjoyed their meals overall, though my mother-in-law's burger was unfortunately undercooked. What disappointed us this visit was the service. Our server (listed as 'Z' on our receipt) came across as very monotone and made us feel rushed throughout our meal. While I understand it can be busy at times, we didn't feel the same warmth or attentiveness we've experienced on previous visits. A bit more friendliness and care would have made a big difference. read more

Fabulous place and good food! Service is fair and good be better. Plan on coming back again read more

Olivia was our server and provided exceptional service. She was friendly, courteous and very attentive. We ordered the sweet potato fries and buffalo chicken dip for an appetizer with wallet almandine, pesto penne past, half rack of ribs and California Rueben for meals. Everything was excellent. It was my birthday and they gave me a complementary dessert. I chose the snickerdoodle cheesecake and it was phenomenal. read more

Walker Roadhouse - Southwestern chicken salad - Bars Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

The atmosphere here is reminiscent of an old fashioned Train Depot. The fact that it never was is applause to the architect for giving it such character. I ordered the Bourbon Maple - Peach Pork Chops ($18) with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and a House Salad (+$3). The meal was a little confusing First off the flavor of the Bourbon Maple Peach was so mild in taste to be almost non existent. However the 2 Pork Chops were thick and cooked perfectly. It was sadly very anticlimactic to eat. The mashed potatoes were good, but nothing special. The salad was very good, though I don't get why it as one of my 2 sides cost an extra $3. The person I was with got the Roadhouse Burger ($12). It looked to be cooked right and it was claimed to be good, but I got the impression it wasn't great. Also she stated the chips were extremely salty! Presiding the meal we received rolls. These were the best part of the meal. Very soft with and amazing taste and texture. The service was good and friendly. They did a very good job keeping my drink full. Overall I wanted to give a better rating, however I just can't justify it. It was a disappointing 3 star review. I came in with high hopes. Would I return? Probably not. However if someone else wanted to go there I'd give them another chance. read more

The service was absolutely amazing, our server was nice and kind and friendly. The place and atmosphere threw us off for a sec, was expecting more bar food- but wow! After we ordered- I got the Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf- we shortly got free biscuits... and honestly they wasn't the best, good but not great... but then just few minutes later the food came(like it seemed almost too fast) and it came out HOT and omg so delicious! The meatloaf tasted unique and flavorful, the white cheddar mac and cheese was creamy and warming, and the fries (although a little salty) were cooked to perfection! This was my first time here, but definitely not the last! read more

Have not been here in a couple years! Food has definitely gone down hill . Had the tuna appetizer was terrible could of got better frozen , because that's what it was .

place is nice. it's gives off a fancy look. my server though, meh. got the drinks and the food at a decent time. the server never refilled our drinks but was refilling others in her section. the price for the food is not worth it. it's very expensive. got mad that i only tipped 5$ on a 55$ dollar bill. what did you expect from teenagers? 20$? funny. read more

Love the Tuesday Taco special. Great food and staff are always kind. Drinks are kinda small for the price.

Was good but I think fried or blackened would be better. The sweet potato fries were good but got cold quick because the they were so thin cut. read more

Walker Roadhouse - Parmesan Crusted Baked Walleye with sweet potato fries and balsamic brussels. y are so thin. - Bars Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Four of us stopped for a late lunch on Friday our first time there. Service was prompt and courteous. The food was great and everyone had enough for another meal to take with them! I had the grilled chicken breasts with teriyaki and mango with balsamic Brussel Sprouts and Sweet Potato Fries (I loved the side of goat cheese)! My cousin choose the Beef with Aus Jus and cup of Lobster Bisque, my daughter and Burger & Fries and my mom a Salad... Everyone gave this location a thumbs up for food, service and vibe. Plenty of seating with tall tables closer to the bar. Clean and comfortable. Diverse crowd! read more

The Walker Roadhouse, located on the West Side of Grand Rapids has been a staple of the neighborhood for many years! They serve up some classic American cuisine with some great regional favorites such as Perogies and Perch! The building itself is older and remodeled but very comfortable. You can eat on the "porch", the main dining area of the Fireplace room. The servers are super friendly and very attentive- several of them have been there for 10+ years! The owner, Billy, can often be seen there on weekends and evenings so make sure to snag him and say hi- he is so friendly! The food is some of the best around- and they even make all their own bread! Make sure to try the Blackend Salmon- simply amazing! read more

I branched out tonight, in several ways, as we returned to a local Westside hotspot. This place is known for their perch, and my family LOVES that dish. I can not attest to the taste factor etc, because unfortunately I can't eat fried food. ANYWAY - I tried the Blue Cheese Sirloin Pasta dish (I rarely order pasta at restaurants). I was torn between that and their Cilantro Lime Shrimp skewers. The pasta was a fettuccine noodle, covered in a cream sauce, with sautéed mushrooms, green onion, sundries tomatoes, blue cheese crumbles and 3 2oz sirloins cooked medium rare. Portion was a good size (took home leftovers!). The dinner rolls (# of people = # of rolls), while late in coming out (came out with our meals) were warm and soft. I had the house Cabernet Sauvignon (swapped my usual local beer for a more refined beverage) - very nice, smooth. One of my dinner mates had the house Pinot Grigio, & it was too dry for her but I thought it was perfect for a Pinot... Birthday dessert for my dinner mate was complementary. The Caramel Apple Turnover was her choice. SO YUMMY!!! Turnover was warm and soft, the ice cream had caramel drizzle...Next time though the peanut butter pie has my name on it. Definitely a busy place, but we got in before folks had to start waiting for tables. Volume is loud (acoustics not the best). Every time I come here, I'm pleased with what I get. read more

The walker roadhouse has a lot to offer. Their service is good, and their menu has a good variety or traditional favorites. It can get quite loud during busy times, so it may not be the best place for an intimate dinner. We enjoy the perch dinner, and the wonderful dessert menu! read more

Walker Roadhouse - Traverse City chicken salad. This tastes like summer! - Bars Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Can we I just say YUM! I was craving a chicken salad sandwich and couldn't find one anywhere and then boom Walker roadhouse popped up! They offer a chicken salad on lettuce but we're so accommodating to make it into a sandwich for me (I'm Gluten frees bread) and a wrap for my mother. We ordered to go and it was ready in under 30 minutes. The staff was very friendly! read more

I ordered extra tortilla and got just the right amount, sever was great so sweat! The chicken was very crispy tasted great! And the lettuce was super fresh and perfectly cut! Will be ordering here again and I recommend if you have not tried give it a shot! read more

I did want to like this place because I appreciate that they have a "gluten friendly" menu (despite a warning of cross-contamination due to use of a single fryer). Unfortunately, my order was so wrong, combined with the spotty service, that I would never go back. The cornmeal dredged perch had zero seasonings, and was served with sickly sweet mayo that substituted for tartar sauce, I suppose. The two sides I requested (included) -- Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes -- were not provided. Instead, I was treated to a plate of French fries and no other side. I pointed this out to the server, and was brought a dollop of cold mashed potatoes. Yuck. Not to mention I did not get what I paid for. Husband's fish was no better, and our waters were never refilled. We can't recommend. So not good. Were they even trying? They get one star for casual ambiance, despite being quite loud as it got busy. I could not hear one of our dining companions once as the evening progressed. read more

Have you seen our waitress? We seem to have lost her. We were seated quickly and ordered some soft drinks which we got quickly and managed to order an appetizer..... Then poof, she was done waiting on us..... No more contact. One of the other waitresses felt sorry for us ad brought us refills... But after 25 minutes we just slapped down a $5 dollar bill to cover the cost of tiny cokes we were served and left. Too bad too. The food looked and smelled wonderful as the other patrons were being served. read more

Arrived at 6:20 and was seated in a couple of minutes. Got ready to order drinks and asked the server if they had Prime Rib. "Sorry, we just ran out 10 minutes ago." WHAT. You RUN OUT of a menu item like Prime Rib on a Saturday night at 6:30pm???? We will not return as we can't feel confident they will have what we want, like something on their menu. read more
